APPLICATION TO THE OFFICE OF RAIL AND ROAD FOR A
PASSENGER TRACK ACCESS AGREEMENT, OR AMENDMENT TO
A PASSENGER TRACK ACCESS AGREEMENT UNDER SECTIONS
17-22A OF THE RAILWAYS ACT 1993
1. Introduction
Please use this form to apply to the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) for:
•directions under section 17 of the Railways Act 1993 for a new track access contract. Section 17
allows companies who want the right to use a railway facility (including Network Rail’s network) to
apply to ORR for access if they are not able (for whatever reason) to reach agreement with the
facility owner.
•approval under section 18 of the Railways Act 1993 for a new track access contract. Section 18
allows companies to apply for approval if they have agreed terms with the facility owner.
•approval of a proposed amendment (agreed by both parties) under section 22 of the Railways Act
1993 to an existing track access contract.
•directions under section 22A of the Railways Act 1993 for an amendment to an existing track
access contract. Section 22A allows anyone seeking an amendment to an existing track access
contract which allows the operation of more extensive services to apply for a compulsory
amendment if they are not able (for whatever reason) to reach agreement with the facility owner.
If it is the facility owner, Network Rail will carry out a pre-application consultation. In this case fill in this
form up to section 7.3. You should fill in the rest of the form after the consultation and before applying
to ORR. If you are unhappy with the facility owner carrying out the consultation, you should ask ORR
to do so. If this is the case, you should complete this form in full before submitting it to us.
The form sets out ORR’s standard infor mation requirements for considering applications. It cross-refers
throughout to our criteria and procedures (C&Ps). The C&Ps explain the process, timin gs and the issues
we will expect to consider. You should use the published model passenger track access contract as
your starting point when drafting the contract or amendments you want. Please read the C&Ps and the
Code of Practice before applying.
We are happy to talk to you before you apply. Please contact us here.
